Well… that was an absolutely fantastic pair of sessions. I loved the process of opening of the greenboxes, the big bad and the showdown. You guys did pretty amazing.

One thing I have to ask, though. Why was “Norwegian” the codeword for ‘someone who knows too much to live’? Is it a reference to the Norwegian fisherman from ‘Call of Cthlulhu’ by good ol’ H.P?

Awesome, more CoC action an a long one at that! I’m saving these up for vacation travel – this promises to be good!

Oh man, halfway through this one already. DAMN, CALEB. DAMN.

god I love Caleb as a GM. as a player, too, but having so much airtime and churning out so many personae so quickly he just goddamn shines. kinda sad this one lacked the abject zaniness of Bryson Springs and Andrew’s Fortune, but even so. Amante’s wild.

love love love the author/triptacular reams of paper exposition technique (wth Man Jesus with the Golden Arm is such a terrifying title for any damn thing). I did the same random choose-your-own-horror thing in a D&D game a while back–hallway with a bunch of mounted masks, rest your chin in one and roll a d10, receive the corresponding nightmare vision and punishment or reward from a chart.

just awesome, basically. we need more Caleb. oh, and good job not being soppy, Aaron! “Serrated for her pleasure” and the penetration-themed Tourette’s were stellar.

I too am impressed again and again by Caleb’s GM style and creativity. Excellent scenario! 🙂

Another great game. Well done, Caleb. I would give my left nut to play in one of your games.

I suspect the “Norwegian” reference refers to John Carpenter’s The Thing.

That was an amazing game! Anywhere we can download some adventure notes or anything?

Wow, that was deliciously messed up!

Yeah, Caleb never, ever disappoints. Such a great scenario. I can tell that Caleb really enjoys writing these scenarios.

What a great game and instant RPPR classic…

Really enjoys writing the SexDeath? Hmm, interesting… 😉

I enjoyed listening to this today. I particularly enjoyed the investigations in the first session when it was still relatively low key. I was amused by the references to ‘doing this Trail of Cthulhu’, nice to see the influence spreading.

I was a bit nonplussed by the epilogue. I don’t peg DG as wasting assets unless they are blown.

Bam! I loved this game. If Pagan were to publish it, I would buy it.

Awesome! Listening to Caleb’s CoC sessions always makes me wish I could play in one

This was my first introduction to Delta Green setting. Outstanding game, although I didn’t get what green box actually was. Oh well, time to read freshly acquired Delta Green book. 🙂
Keep up a great job!

A green box is a storage container rented by the higher-ups in Delta green for stuff acquired during missions that can’t be moved safely, or without suspicion. They tend to collect crazy things as each team in the area gets access to it, takes what they need (like, camping supplies, a weapon, notes) and drops off what they don’t want (like, BIG weapons, artifacts, drugs, rotting corpses). A team is supposed to inform the higher ups of any inventory changes, but often that doesn’t happen.

Andrea had alarms and an inventory of the box in this adventure, so she likely had a recent update of how bad it could be.

Great Recording and a great adventure as well.
I’m planning to run it for my group actually.

Is this adventure something that Caleb wrote himself, or is it available somewhere.

If it’s not a published adventure, it really needs to be. I’d Love to run this one for my group.

Caleb

January 15, 2012 at 7:18 pm

I wrote it myself. Ross, Ean, and I are working on a ransom to release it as a high quality PDF. I’m going to try and have it up sometime in May. Thanks for the interest!

Please do Caleb, I’d gladly pay a ransom for this scenario. I’m a gm who is just getting started, and listening to rppr is one of the reason’s I got into the hobby.

What was the “attachment: Cyrano de Bergerac”?

Caleb

May 9, 2012 at 3:18 pm

The typical Delta Green code for going on a mission is “You’ve been invited to a Night at the Opera.” I figured the email, even though it was encrypted, would be more covert if tickets to an opera were actually attached.

Karl

Ah I see. Very cool. Great job on the adventure. I loved listening to it. I’m gonna try to run something similar for my group but with Savage Worlds. Thanks!

Caleb

This scenario is being offered as a reward in the kickstarter I just launched! If you liked the Amante, consider donating here.

This was honestly the best Delta Green scenario I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Is there any way at all I could get the original DG-optimized scenario from you, Caleb? I bought the generic one from the link above, but I’m just worried I might miss out on some of the nuances you put into it.

I just finally caught the Agent Fillagrie reference from Bryson Springs. Totes going to get this adventure and run it for my friends.
